Homebuilding to Set Record in Dollar Volume This Year
The first authoritative 1956 housing forecast predicts total expenditures on new private homebuilding will surpass the 1950 and 1956 records. Spending this year is seen at about $14.6 billion, with 1,250,000 new private houses started next year, down from 1,300,000 this year and 1,352,000 in 1950. The forecast cites rising family purchasing power, credit curbs on VA loans, and a continued suburban development trend as key factors shaping the 1956-57 housing market.
